I'm curious how Salesforce's Bay Area employees feel about their company being known as an authoritarian collaborator.

Does anyone actually take this seriously anymore? Is anyone truly thinking "OpenAI is worth five hundred billion dollars" and able to express why? Oh they're buying their own data centers maybe? Or is Oracle doing that? Salesforce's market cap is $236bn! This is very silly now!

Salesforce's stock has declined a great deal the past year, in part because they over-invested in AI, which basically nobody care about but the people trying to shove it down our throats and make money off it.

Sorry, not sorry.

The screenshots we saw showed that Salesforce's own agentic AI, Agentforce, is down dramatically across multiple teams at the company, sometimes as much as 70 percent

www.404media.co/salesforces-...
One part of the dashboards viewed by 404 Media shows that use of Agentforce, Salesforce’s own platform for building AI agents, is down dramatically across various teams. Various teams all dropped use of the tool by more than 60 percent, and sometimes 70 percent. Slackbot, the AI agent in Slack, which Salesforce owns, use is much higher though, according to the screenshots. ChatGPT is also more popular with many teams than, say, Gemini, according to the screenshots.

The Business Idiot demands that every achievement or product is coddled and applauded, even if it doesn't exist. That's why Salesforce got away with running ads for its AI products for integrations that don't exist. It's an economy for dunces.
www.wheresyoured.at/the-revenge-of-the-business-idiot/
Only an economy oriented around coveting and coddling losers would have let AI get this far. Every single story about AI has to either directly gloss over the obvious financial and technological issues or start speaking in the kinds of vague theoreticals reserved for cults and multi-level marketing scams. Even Bloomberg’s piece — which is pretty critical! — helps gaslight Salesforce’s customers by quoting an executive blaming their own processes for Salesforce’s outright lies: Successful deployment of more advanced uses of Agentforce is as much about a customers’ processes and internal compliance as it is about technology, said Madhav Thattai, Salesforce executive vice president of Agentforce. “You’re going to see customers start with simpler use cases,” he said. “As they start to develop and implement more complex things, they kind of realize this full autonomous vision.” What the fuck does that mean? What’re you talking about, Madhav? What “autonomous vision”? What complex things? Do you even know? Hello?
